[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2203363, member: 493719"] fully agreed, and you had me ..until that last line. Not sure that's the plan at all. we'll still have meat, it'll just be more expensive..demand outstripping supply.. and i f we stop farming so much, i think peer pressure will mean others will farm less. Trade tariffs, import duties, new anti climatre taxes etc, will make that less attractive, so the tumble down of numbers will continue and accelerate, most likely particularly among the poorest who NEED a harvest to sell every years/season. So razing fields to plant bio fuels while some of the world starves...possible or maybe some go the way of the afghan farmers and so many in south america, and grow poppy for those willing to risk buying and selling it to our schoolkids..? unintended consequences of well intentioned ideals the 20th century and our own are littered with them, sadly. but as said..agree with most.:) [/QUOTE]
